ProStor Systems Announces the Sale of its RDX® Removable Disk Technology
Business

ProStor Systems, the leader in multi-tiered storage systems for long-term
data retention, today announced the sale of its RDX removable disk business.
Tandberg Data will acquire the RDX business, including intellectual property and
key members of ProStor’s RDX engineering team. The terms of the deal were not
disclosed. ProStor Systems is the inventor and original developer of RDX
removable disk technology and the only vendor to offer a multi-tiered storage
system based on RDX.

RDX removable disk technology has become the industry leader in
enterprise-class removable disk storage for backup, disaster protection and
archive. ProStor Systems licensed the RDX technology to Tandberg Data to
manufacture, market and sell worldwide. Since then, Tandberg Data has been
instrumental in RDX technology achieving widespread acceptance and has
established itself as the market leader in the removable disk market.

ProStor is the only vendor to offer a multi-tiered storage system based on
RDX technology. “In recent months, we’ve enhanced and expanded the ProStor
InfiniVault® product line significantly. The sale of the RDX business will
enable us to align our resources and focus our attention solely on scaling the
InfiniVault product portfolio,” explains Frank Harbist, ProStor Systems’ CEO.

ProStor InfiniVault, a multi-tiered storage system for fixed digital
assets, is uniquely suited to provide a cost-effective solution where data is
stored at the most efficient level given business retention and retrieval
requirements. The InfiniVault offers backward- and forward- compatibility so
that any capacity RDX disk can be intermixed in the system, realizing dramatic
cost savings as data grows by eliminating the need to purchase a new system.
ProStor will continue to offer its full range of RDX capacity points as part of
selling the InfiniVault portfolio. ProStor is still unique in offering
system-matching warranties for RDX drives that are bought from ProStor as part
of an InfiniVault sale.

The InfiniVault product line has been expanding
to include features that enable data virtualization across online, nearline,
offline, and offsite tiers based on policies. This transaction enables the
continued development of significant long-term data management and retention
capabilities to come in the future. ProStor continues to experience solid
acceleration in number of customers and sales—serving over 200 customers and
realizing over 100% growth in sales year over year.
